More like just noticed the difference between those who couldn't graduate high school (even in Australia where kangaroo riding passes as education) and those who did.

Anyway, after doing nearly a solid year of that science/problem solving/amaze your colleagues and impress the world stuff again (would have taken 2 years to complete if I had kept trying to explain how 2+2 works to the likes of you) it is getting into the review, publication and accolades part. Which is far less time consuming. So I can glance around the internet and see that you haven't gotten any smarter, still say things that aren't true, and are still getting pummeled by those with brains.

Young Aussies inundated with calls after finding solution to major electric vehicle problem
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he young entrepreneurs have been celebrated by many, though anything to do with EVs often come with its skeptics. After seeing the rise in EVs around Melbourne and other parts of Victoria, and hearing about a lack of charging stations available, two young Aussies have come up with a seemingly obvious, and much-needed solution. "We were just like, let's see if we can deliver a mobile [charging] service for customers".

The vehicles carrying the chargers are not electric, which has been pointed out by some critics. While business is still picking up since their recent launch, the pair have received a "hell of a lot" of phone calls from people wanting help fixing chargers, businesses looking to organise a subscription to the service, and from some in need of a rescue.

Most recently, an EV was left stranded on the Mornington Peninsular after a "public charging station" was "out of service", not unheard of while EV infrastructure is still growing, so a truck was sent out for a $200 "fast charge".

'Rude' EV problem now making its way to Aussie regions
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '

"It surprised me, it was a real trip hazard," Bensley told the ABC. "There was no attempt to put anything over the cable, and it had rained the night before, so it was nice and wet." "You see a lot of that in the city areas, where people are in high-density terrace houses. It's a bit of a surprise to see this turning up in Sawtell," he said.

Who would have thought a year ago when EV startups were burgeoning and Tesla sales were going up and up that those same startups would all be in bankruptcy or gone?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')i]09-06-2002 Some good points Seeker. I had a thread on GingerChat last year about automated roadways for Segway's and similar vehicles. Segways would take up so little space that a 5 foot wide paved road would accomadate them in the fashion it takes a 24 foot wide road to accomadate two lanes of cars and trucks. I have a feeling that is well into the future if it happens, because of the reluctance of people to pay taxes for anything.

Your point about lighter weight construction is also good. When you compare an 80 pound Segway plus 250 pound rider at 330 pounds, it is about one tenth the weight of a moderate sized car, such as a Camry.

01-20-2003 The Segway HT is terribly misunderstood and, as witnessed in San Francisco, you don't have to just sell legislators on how it can coexist on sidewalks with pedestrian traffic. Citizens, a small number of citizens, spoke out and got their way. I don't believe most of them really understand the Segway HT. We all have to get the public at large to understand it. It's important that the public and the media realize that a Segway is as much like a powered scooter as a golf cart is like a bus.

For years, a decade and more, the mainstream media has cheerleaded the EV revolution. Now they have turned on it and all the stories are negative. This will be the biggest single factor in crushing the EV. Everyone takes their lead from the TV set, it's their Brain HaHaHa

[theluckycountry]

On a personal note I'm really glad I didn't get sucked into this EV swindle. I came near 4 years ago, I was in the market for a new car and had the cash sitting there, but unlike most I did some serious research, mostly on forums of EV owners. When you go looking to spend big on new technology it's best to begin by ignoring all the positive posts and focus on the negative ones, then decide if you can live with these downsides.

Average people, people like AdamB above, will buy something and then "learn to live with it" The human Ego doesn't want to admit it made a critical mistake, that's why people stay in shit marriages and crap jobs for so long. So ignoring the "Oh it's so great" comments I began to see a pattern. Owners basically had to change their entire lifestyles just to accommodate their EV. It dictated where they could drive to, where they could stay, even where they parked every night! Have you ever driven off in a hurry to go somewhere on a low tank and thought "Bugger" I need fuel. It's a little inconvenient, you have to stop at a gas station and probably not your favorite. But if you make this error in an EV your trip is OVER!

I saw the real world battery life info, that is only now leaking into the media. I saw the long delays in service times, how traveling through the mountains seriously cuts my range. How in Winter my driving range is seriously degraded if I want to simply run the heater! And all the while the Egomaniacs were brushing off these downsides, "Oh it's totally worth it" "They sent a truck and I had my car back in less than a month" "I bought the 3-phase fast charger and now I'm full again in 2 hours" "I don't have to go to the Gas station ever again, Oh happy days"

I though of my own life and how my cars and bikes were fun to drive but were just there. I didn't have to fuss over them? New tires, a service every year say, and all could be put off for weeks or a month or two if I cared. I was under no pressure with Gasoline powered cars, they served me. No so with the EV, I would be it's servant. And if I didn't stick to it's rules it would punish me by leaving me stranded on the road somewhere far from home.

So I backed away from the EV, but I took on board what the ego posters said, that in the years to come all these problems would be solved. I decided to wait and enjoy my life as it was until the EV could match it. Well guess what! The problems weren't solved, they actually got worse. And now apparently I'm to blame for the EV failure HaHa. That's right folks, that's where all the Hate comes from. It's my fault because I didn't buy one and because I spoke against them revealing the downsides.

You see if we all had bought one then "They" would have built out the charging infrastructure and prices would have fallen. This is what angers the EV Egomaniacs now. Their dream is collapsing and soon they will be abandoned like a houseboat on a dry lake. Well I'm sorry Mr. EV buyer, but you only have yourself to blame. You rushed in where angels fear to tread and now you'll just have to live with the consequences. Accept your mistake and go park your old EV beside your Segway and all that dusty Gym equipment you never use.

That 50 grand I was going to drop on a Nissan leaf, boy I dodged a bullet there, I bought gold with it instead, couldn't leave it in the bank. My little luxury 4x4 is still going strong, only 150,000km on the clock, hardly run in for this one. I probably would have upgraded it by now though had Covid not intruded, we all pulled our horns in with that.

Tesla Shares Tumble On Report Of Robotaxi Unveil Delay

So what's new? We're still waiting for the Tesla Semi. We'll I'm not, that was a Musk joke all along. Has anyone ever stopped to consider why they never began to electrify the interstate truck fleet? Or the farm machinery fleets? Or all the bulldozers and dump trucks in the mines? Ha, remember that Diesel powered one you tried to sell us on kub, the one with the huge engine driving a generator to power the wheels? Yes you got caught out on that one didn't you. Made you look like a total numpty for not researching properly. EV's don't have radiators lol.



Scale! It's what limits battery utility in vehicles and the rational stopping point is the electric golf cart. The electrified golf cart market never crashed. The electric drone market never crashed but went from strength to strength. The electric remote control toy car market is booming still after 45 years! It's gone from strength to strength. But the electric passenger vehicle market?

The passenger EV market has reached it's peak, overshot it actually, both in terms of ownership and in production. With half of EV owners switching back to gasoline and all the major established EV makers going down the tubes it will left to China to supply the reduced volume needed to satisfy the inner-city hipsters who can sort of make it work for them. People that never want to drive too far between charging, those wealthy enough to own a home with solar. The sort of people who think nothing of paying $30 for a coffee and a smashed avocado sandwich, $300 on the latest running shoes.

Warning against EV owners' 'revolutionary' solution to common battery concern

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')ustralian EV owners dabbling in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging have been warned the emerging technology is not yet fully understood and therefore could be dangerous, or even damaging to the car.

Aussies this week have been sharing their stories about how they've charged up their cars using a cable hooked to another EV, the equivalent to jump starting a petrol powered vehicle, known as an internal combustion engine (ICE). Though the system sounds undoubtedly handy, experts have warned that just because it's possible in some models, such as BYDs, doesn't mean we should be taking advantage of the tech just yet.

[A potent incentive for EV adoption] will come from total cost of ownership (TCO) savings. Mining machines have a wide range of possible duty cycles, but the most intense of those can require operating 20-hour days on average or even around the clock.

[theluckycountry]

Or you can just use Diesel and bypass having to build a power station at every mine site. The very idea of converting the mining equipment to battery power is retarded. Those things, Bulldozers, Scrapers, Massive trucks driving up out of open cuts use phenomenal amounts of energy. They would have to build earthmovers twice the size just to carry the battery packs and then they would still probably overheat.

It's why they never even tried, it's pointless. And if you did by some miracle find enough lithium to electrify all the cars then you'd still be left with refineries pumping out 30~40% Gasoline fractions with all the other fractions we need to run the modern world. What are you going to do with that unwanted gasoline? Pour it on the ground? The whole idea is beyond stupid and just goes to show how shallow the EV fanboi are in their thinking. Roads are made of oil, pharmaceuticals are made from oil, your laptop is made from oil, and 90% of the food in your supermarket is there as a direct result of oil based pesticides and natural gas fertilizers.

Peakoil spells the end of Suburbia, the end of 100 years of increasing prosperity for the world and EVidiots think we're going to spend the last major reserves building a Billion electric cars and millions of earth movers? These people need to see a psychiatrist.
